OK. I have a modest proposal: Anyone can use any emoji they want. To achieve this users declare emoji's in a known format the browser recognizes inline in text, which includes a content hash of the emoji they wish to use. eg. ":T1

It's really clear that hacker news puts its thumb on the scale of pretty much everything in a pointedly opaque way. It's really easy to see this in action if you go down to the bottom of comments section and you'll notice a b

That is so cool!!! I have always wanted something like this! Arg I wish other filesystems supported a strategy like this!

True, but when you point out practical realities like this to monopolistic institutions, they don't have to care. They will instead ask "well why isn't the connection good at the concert? What can we do to fix that?" (ie

I would say that "learn" button is a little unclear. It might be better to just have the whole learning section beneath the question, always visible. That will also help drive home the intent of the page, since so many people thin

It gives you an impetus to learn and a question to test your understanding. I'd say there's a pretty good track record for this style of teaching.

I have to presume that the driving impetus of all of this is that they're trying to avoid the actual requirement of checking the ID. Like, they want to improve the flow of traffic through admissions. But I mean, obviously, any kind of

The solution doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to be good. Good enough is good enough.

Yes. People assume that because they are correct. It is always vacuous. Always. If it wasn't, money would not be changing hands. No one's paying corporate sponsorship money so I can have more foot to centura carpet interaction in

I'm surprised the advertisers are playing ball here. Advertisers want access to people who are willing to pay more money and they want the service that does show their ads to be as accessible as possible. And they're able to more

I wonder if they would be willing to accept a pull request that removed the custom stream target? After all if you're streaming to an unknown site, that might constitute support for that site by the obsproject. I mean the mere existenc

check out firefox containers. You can launch a specific container as a new tab with the hotkey "Ctrl+shift+#", depending on what you have set. I have ctrl+shift+1 for personal, 2 for work, 3 for banking. It's a super rapid wa

You know if it also took the time to utilize the bandwidth while it has it. Like via shouldn't stop downloading if a game doesn't request the files. They might even be able to integrated a bit of brains into it and keep a record o

If I recommended something to you but didn't believe it was actually worth recommending, is that immoral? Well I basically lied to you... But it's ok! Because I also financially benefited from it. Yes, marketing is immoral.

you have to make tradeoffs. If you want to ban reselling, you ban reselling. Scalpers locking out fans is a universal concern. How often do you hear the success story of "I can't make the concert so I sold the ticket online".

I dunno why this always gets brought up. What causes inflation? Money moving in the economy. Don't want to cause inflation? Give your money to rich people, they will just sit on it. Same as burning it. Give it to poor people and they u

I have to agree reviews work very well. But it distresses me that, knowing the absolute tsunami of garbage that awaits us without it, we are SO laissez faire when it comes to protecting that system. We allow companies to game reviews with k

I think people would pick up the change of ownership and flee for greener pastures. Think MySQL. Actually, to be honest... can anyone think of an example where a company bought a competitor with a large user base, and then just outright, or

Yes I've hit this as well! Such an annoying behaviour. However I think it's a good habit to make records in `~/.ssh/config` for each of your servers anyway just to keep tabs what, where, who, and with what keys.
